My first story to get published on paper :D

I am feeling extremely happy today.

Some time back I had sent a short story that I wrote to Womens Era Magazine. They had notified me that it had got selected for publishing. It had been a few months ago and I was not sure which edition would carry it and I was not aware that they would send me a copy.

Today I received a copy of the May(SECOND) Edition 2012 of Womens Era and on Page 78, I found my maiden name Jayashree Soundararajan along with that story.

I am not very sure how to describe the feeling...Elation? Satisfaction? Pride? Contentment?

I really dont know. But its a very nice beautiful feeling.

Agreed there are millions of writers out there and I am like a tiny drop in a huge ocean.

But every word of appreciation and every recognition one gets is very very important for the self esteem of anyone aspiring to become a writer some day.

I pray and hope I learn more in the years to come and that my journey in the literary world continues with more strength along with the other beautiful droplets in this mighty ocean.

Dear Jayashree,Congratulations. Cherish the moment.I still remember the moment when my first story was published - it was the happiest moment of my life.The first step is a great achievement - wish you a great creative journey ahead with many more such accomplishments.Keep Writing and Blogging.Regards Vikram

Oh dear ! I am extremely sorry . I was replying to the comments one after another and somehow missed replying to you . You have been reading all my posts good or bad without fail and have always left back your comments and they have made so many of my days brighter . Thank you so much :D

WOW.... that is soooo soooo awesome. Many many congratulationssss.... :) I am really really happy for you. :) Keep up the wonderful literary work and I wish more and more works of yours to be recognized and published. :)

Congratulations! i was running with the newspaper all around the town when my first poem got published in a "The Sun" magazine. I was very young and that could be the defining moment where i took writing very seriously. Hope to see many more coming for you.
